Re: Torque managment removal? took out the TM on my car and noticed a difference in the the shifting. It didn't seem to sit down after shifts. Use search and look for "torque management". I had posted on it a while back and there are some good tips in that post.

A C5 vette has more functions using TM then a F-body so TM would play a smaller role in your car.
TM does not mean your engine cannot produce more torque to driveshaft it just does not want short sudden spikes over the max TM values over the stock setting of 350 ft/lbs.
You could go on a dyno and being you are not banging hard through the gears and get results over the 350 but as mentioned if your engine can produce over the 350, launching hard with strong shifts like in lower gears and it spikes over the 350 then if would lay rhe front end down as PCM backs off timing.
If the car has problems getting traction the TM might even help gain the traction esp if you have increased the performance.
I have tested this many times on the track and in my case with no TM I get zero traction for longer timeframe then with a bit of TM kicking in.
I suggest you test and see what is best for your car but I do not suggest you put some high value in and shut it off altogether for it may save yor butt in realworld road conditions.
Think of TM as a pressure valve, it pops and releases power rather then break stock drivetrain parts.
